In Loving Memory of Omar J. Castillo
West Falls Church, Virginia – June 9, 2025
With profound sorrow and heavy hearts, the Castillo family announces the passing of Omar J. Castillo, a cherished husband, father, grandfather, and friend, who departed this life on June 9th, 2025. His death leaves a deep void in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
Omar was a man defined by devotion to family, quiet strength, and a legacy of love that extended far beyond bloodlines. Born with a gentle spirit and a radiant smile, he embraced life with a humility and grace that deeply touched those around him. Whether he was offering a kind word, telling a story infused with his signature humor, or simply sitting quietly with those he loved, Omar’s presence was a comfort and a joy.
He is survived by his beloved wife, Martha, his sons Omar and Marlon, and his adored grandchildren Valeria, Ronald, and Brianna, each of whom brought immense pride and joy into his life. His family was his universe, and he poured his heart into every moment spent with them — teaching, guiding, and nurturing with unwavering love. His bond with his grandchildren was especially tender; they remember him as their storyteller, their protector, and their hero.
Friends and extended family remember Omar as a man of deep values, someone who could be counted on in both celebration and sorrow. He was a neighbor who offered help without hesitation, a colleague who brought dedication and optimism into his work, and a friend whose loyalty never wavered. His kindness, compassion, and wit enriched every room he entered.
Omar’s life was a testament to integrity, laughter, and resilience. He found joy in life’s simplest pleasures: a well-tended garden, a good conversation over coffee, a family dinner filled with laughter. His stories, often punctuated with his warm chuckle, revealed a man who appreciated history, respected tradition, and embraced change with an open mind.
As the Castillo family begins to navigate the immense grief of this loss, they take comfort in the love that continues to pour in from across the community. Every message, every shared memory, every gesture of support reminds them just how many lives Omar touched with his generous heart.
A Mass in honor of Omar’s life will be announced in the coming days. It will be a time for family, friends, and loved ones to come together, to celebrate a life well lived, and to share in the beautiful legacy he leaves behind.
In the spirit of Omar’s lifelong generosity, the family invites those who wish to support them during this time of mourning to do so through heartfelt messages, prayers, or donations as they prepare to lay him to rest with dignity and love.
Though he has left this world, Omar J. Castillo’s light continues to shine — in the lives he shaped, in the laughter he inspired, and in the love that remains. May his soul rest in eternal peace, and may his memory be a blessing to all who knew him.
